Itinerary

Airport transfer from DMV to Courtyard by Marriott Moscow City Center (self-booked hotel, not by PKT) with English speaking guide.  Hotel to Indian dinner to Circus (including tickets); transfer to hotel afterwards. [D]

This morning attend the Victory Parade (subject to availability and tickets – we will advise any associated supplemental cost).  Later, on a city tour of Moscow, we visit the world famous Red Square. Next, see Leo Tolstoy Street, Triumphal Arch, White House, Arbat Square, Boulevard Ring, Tverskaya Street and Manezh Square. Lenin Tomb, Place of Skulls. Later, visit the Metro stations of Moscow often called ‘the people’s palaces’, for their elegant designs, lavish and profuse use of marble, mosaics, sculptures and chandeliers. Afterwards, transfer back to your hotel (self-booked hotel, not by PKT). [D]

We first take you to visit the Kremlin*, in the very heart of Russia. Our visit to the Kremlin includes Patriarch’s Palace, Terem Palace and Cathedral Square, which houses many churches with exquisite golden domes, and visit Lenin Tomb.  Afterwards, continue on for a transfer back to your hotel (self-booked hotel, not by PKT).  [L,D]

*according to my local team, there is a 70% chance that you will be able to visit The Kremlin today.  In April we will know for certain.  For now, we’ll keep the itinerary like this and keep you updated.

Transfer to airport (which airport to be determined)
Transfer from CPH airport to Park Radisson Airport (PKT booked). Dinner on own

Breakfast at hotel.  Half day city tour with private coach/van (4 hours) and transfer to cruise port.

Pick up from cruise port at 10am. You will have the coach at disposal for 9 hours.  See Parliament Square, National Galleries, Karl Johan shopping street, Royal Palace (exterior) and Akershus Castle (exterior), The Norwegian Defence Museum, City Hall and visit Vigeland Park. Later, we visit the Viking Ship Museum (entrance fee included). It displays the Viking Age Oseberg ship, Gokstad ship and Tune ship.  Take a cruise to visit Oslo Fjord.  Drop at cruise port afterwards.

You're picked up this morning from Warnemunde Port for your day trip to Berlin and back to the port in the evening.  The tour in Berlin starts at the Charlottenburg Palace located in the western district of Charlottenburg. After meeting the guide here the tour continues through the western half of the city driving down the beautiful Kurfurstendam stopping for a photo opportunity at the bombed out Kaiser William Memorial Church.  The tour then continues through the Central Park of Berlin, the Tiergarten passing the towering Victory Column and jumping out of the bus again at the German Parliment, the Reichstag. 

From here you will get a chance to stretch your legs as you walk the few hundred meters through the Brandenburg Gate into Paris Square. After Paris square you will walk through the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and then to the site of Hitlers Bunker before getting back on the bus. Once back on the bus the next stop is the architecturally amazing Potsdamer Platz and then onto the former site of the SS and Gestapo Headquarters which is now a museum called the Topography of Terror.  This is coincidentally also the first time you will see a stretch of the Berlin wall in its original position so you will once again get a chance to get off the bus and take some photos. 

The infamous Checkpoint Charlie is the next stop on the tour and after that a lunch break will be taken. Please note the meal is not included in the price of the tour but you can naturally purchase it with us separately.

After lunch (on your own) the tour heads up to the historic heart of Berlin passing the beautiful Gendarmenmarkt Square and the Book Burning Square before landing on the UNESCO World Heritage Site Museum Island and Berlin's five most famous museums.  Depending on how much time is left the tour can continue on to the East Side Gallery and/or the former Jewish Quarter of town which has now become the art district of Berlin.
